Simulation study of efficiency of STM methods

Appendix of ‘Krijkamp EM, Alarid-Escudero F, Enns EA, Hunink MGM, Pechlivanoglou P, Yang, A., Jalal HJ.’ A multidimensional array representation of state-transition model (revised, September 2019)

Explanation of the simulation study

For an explanation see the paper or Markdown document. This file only contains the code for the figures.

Compare time:

2D line graph - by state, at 1320 cycles

Zoom in on the y-axis

2D line graph - by state, at 1320 cycles zoomed in on the y-axis to see time changes of the array approach

To save these figures we performed the following steps manually:

1. knit to html

2. zoom in with html

3. use printscreen button

4. past it to paint (or powerpoint)

5. crop

6. save as png (and pdf)
